The Rich Texan's line about Hitler's car being the first car with "Fahrvergnügen" was originally supposed to be "...and it was the first car to be featured in Disney's Electric Light Parade." According to commentary, the show's legal team begged them not to use that line, despite allowing every other joke that made fun of Disney in the past. The original line appeared in the closed captions on TV (save for the syndicated version, the international versions, and the DVD version).

The car purported to have belonged to Hitler looks like an actual Mercedes-Benz owned by Hitler, seen here.

Homer wouldn't be able to give Cooder and Spud the deed to the house, as he's still paying the mortgage. However, given that Cooder was squatting and failed to get a good assessment on the Simpson residence, he would have been fooled by Homer's bluff.

Only contrabass and baritone saxophones have spit valves in them (along with other musical instruments, like trumpets, tubas, and French horns). The saxophone Lisa plays looks like an alto, which doesn't have a spit valve.
